Hi there! Chapter 2 is here if anyone reads this!
Dsclaimer: I don't own Twilight *cries hysterically*
I threw my green velvet cloak over my shoulders and pulled up the hood so that it covered my face from sight. I stalked quietly away from the castle, careful not to catch the attention of the guards. I mean those men had the eyes of hawks; literally, I swear they could see anything and everything. I tip-toed down the hill, into the village and along the all too familiar gravel track to the Cullen's farm.
I turned a sharp right up the Cullen's drive, towards the crooked wooden house in the middle of the 1 acre by 2 acre patch of land. The house had 5 floors and an attic or two, each one built precariously on top of the last. They were 'late additions' as Dr. Cullen called them. Know matter how topsy-turvy it looked from the outside, it was probably the safest place to be in the entire world. Home.
I reached out my hand from under the cloak to knock the door, almost hitting Alice in the face as she opened it prematurely.
"BELLA!" She screamed, grabbing my raised arm and pulling me into the narrow corridor.
"ALICE!" I screamed back, mimicking her enthusiasm.
"You look great. And you picked out your own clothes!" Alice squealed, jumping up and down as her usual exited self. "Rose! You have to see this." She shouted dragging me upstairs towards her room on the 3rd floor.
Alice sat me down on her bed. It had blue silk covers, the one I'd bought for her last March. Rose walked in and stared me up and down before engulphing me in a hug.
"Oh my gosh, Bella! You look amazing!" Alice whispered something in Rosalie's ear, which made Rose burst out laughing "Alice, you're telling me she picked it all out by herself!" Alice whispered something else. "Really? Oh, sorry Bella." I chuckled. It was easy to think that Alice had picked out my wardrobe like she did most days, as I was a hopeless case in this world they call 'fashion'.
"Esme, this is really good." I complemented her cooking once again. "Better than the kitchen help." I smirked at Edward.
"Thank you, for the generous complement, Bella." Edward said sarcastically, bowing.
"Well, you're very lucky to get one." I said picking up my plate and walking to put it into the kitchen. He followed me. "That's 2 of your 5 a year gone and its January, You should be more careful"
"Right, you are my lady." He joked, mimicking his father's British accent.
A few hours later, I was standing by the front door, my cloak in my arms.
"Alice, I really have to go." I chuckled, prying her of my arm.
"No, no, no! Stay! We'll have a sleepover. Rose is staying!"
"Hello? Charlie! Remember? He'll kill me!" I joked, but hidden deep inside of me I was serious. Charlie had an extremely short temper; he could kill me with the snap of his fingers. I would be a goner.
"Ok, but I'll be there in the morning. And someone will be with me. MWHAHAHA!" She said evilly. Ok, a teeny bit scared now. I opened the door quickly and hopped out into the cold.
It was dark. Really dark. So dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I was walking the way I believed to be the way home. Over the river, left, right, straight, left, straight, right, oh who am I kidding! I am lost. I carried on walking to where I could here movement. I slammed into something hard. I fell to the floor with a bang.
"Oh my God! I am so sorry!" A very recognisable velvet voice began. "Are you OK?"
"I'm fine." He held out a hand to help me up. I took it and was quickly whisked to my feet. "Thanks you."
"You're lost, I can tell, I know things like this."
"Sure you do."
"I do, really. May I be lucky enough to escort you to your destination?"
"Well, this must be your lucky day." I chuckled taking his hand.
We reached the castle, and I turned to face him.
"What do I owe to you, my saviour? For all we know I could have been lost until the sun came up."
"You owe me nothing."
"Well, I shall try and see you tomorrow." I smiled, turning to leave.
"Bella!" he called.
"Yes?"
"I rea- nothing."
"Right back at you, Edward." I smiled widely as I walked away.
I know its short but the shorter it is the more time I have to write hopefully making the next chapter better.
